Subject: tcp/ipv6: fix flow label setting in TIME_WAIT state

From: Florent Fourcot <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 21858cd02dabcf290564cbf4769b101eba54d7bb ]

commit 1d13a96c74fc ("ipv6: tcp: fix flowlabel value in ACK messages
send from TIME_WAIT") added the flow label in the last TCP packets.
Unfortunately, it was not casted properly.

This patch replace the buggy shift with be32_to_cpu/cpu_to_be32.
